As it turns out goldfish can see colors! Even more colors than humans. Most human eyes see shades of the 3 primary colors: red, blue and yellow (Norman’s favorite food colors).
Goldfish see those and 2 more! They can see infra-red, which is a color beyond red that we humans can’t “see” but we “feel” as heat. This helps goldfish detect other fish.
The other color goldfish see is ultraviolet, a shade beyond purple. It’s those bright color shades humans can only see if we use an ultra-violet light.
